With the same great alternative beats The Limousines have been pumping out since 2007, Get Sharp outshines them all. This recently released album is the San Francisco band’s first LP and it is truly remarkable how the sound hits the soul and makes you want to dance.

Like a personal soundtrack to your love story, ‘Twin Atlantic’ brings a modern twist to alternative music. Hailing from Glassgow, UK, their music will slowly invade your senses and make you wanna get up and dance like no one is watching.

Music is for public consumption, to be interpreted by the listener regardless of what may be the thoughts behind the band/musician when the song was written. Be that as it may, Egypt Central, from Memphis, TN are pretty straight forward in the message of their music; be who you are, don’t let anyone hold you down and if you get pushed, it is ok to push back sometimes.

When you hear the word Iowa, you think of one band. Slipknot. I’m here to change that.

I was 11 years old in 2000, my dad came home from work and handed me a CD that said “SPONGE: Wax Ecstatic” on the cover, he’d found it inside a car that had been destroyed and ended up at the mechanic shop he was working at.

With track names like “Rectal Rampage”, “Ed Rooney is down for kids” and “Mr. Harvey’s Special Place”, you would only expect for that album to be either mind blowingly good or “the worst 19 minutes of your life”.

One of the most recent additions to my management company Metaphor Management is a catchy tuned band called MIRROS, from the Bay Area.

“Times of Grace” may be a new band on the circuit but that didn’t hinder them taking over the Troubadour in West Hollywood alongside local royalty All Hail The Yeti, touring maniacs Straight Line Stitch and Facedown Records very own War of Ages.

Roadrunner Records has a goldmine on their hands and their name is DEVILDRIVER!

Punk/Rock’s savior comes in the form of some attractive and talented musicians.
